Dominic Fazzini Friday's play 15 Dime -- Missouri (minus points vs. NEVADA)
Missouri isn't as strong as it was last season, but it has been pretty good in starting 3-0 this year, especially in its season-opening 37-9 victory over Illinois.
Nevada, on the other hand, is not as good as many people thought it would be, starting the season with a 35-0 loss at Notre Dame and a 35-20 loss at Colorado State.
The Wolf Pack offense has been sloppy, committing eight turnovers, and quarterback Colin Kaepernick has been erratic, with four interceptions vs. just one touchdown pass.
Nevada has lost four of its last five, and is 0-5 against the spread.
While Missouri is just 1-5 ATS in its last six games as a favorite, it is 6-1 ATS in its last seven as a road favorite, 7-2 ATS in September, 10-3 ATS on the road, 11-4 ATS in nonconference games, 6-1 ATS in nonconference road games and 11-0 ATS as a favorite of 3 1/2 to 10 points.
Missouri also hammered the Wolf Pack 69-17 at home last year, easily covering as a 26-point favorite.
The Tigers' next game is at home against rival Nebraska, which normally would make me hesitant in taking them in this spot. However, that game isn't until Oct. 8, which should prevent Missouri from looking ahead. Take the Tigers to cover the points tonight in an easy victory.
Fazzini 15 dime 9/25
